What paint have you found that works well, and looks oem for the last generation metalic grey colored clutch cover?

Whatever paint you use, make sure to bake it in the oven for 15-20 mins.

Or just powder coat it.
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

I've never had any paint hold up to the boot rubbing. MFDB recently used some super badass gun coating on his clutch cover, it lasted a while, but within 3-4 rides it started rubbing off. The oem color is very similar to the color they call "cast aluminum". I always just bead blasted mine, but since its a mag alloy it turns a dark gray color.
